You're changing sides To get you through the war Cause you'll lose your life No matter which flag you adorn But I'll stay here by your side And hang some cloth that we dyed And cry when cymbals crash Oh symbolism always lasts So you're writing down Your own national anthem With profane sounds You'd kill to have it sung But it kills you deep inside To know all your clever rhymes Won't be seen as more than such Oh symbolism don't mean much But I'll stand tall and hoist the colors Right through it all, through the perilous fight!

Unfulfilled 03:59
I breathe interest in your general direction No disguise for those frostbitten eyes But your warm lips hide that bitter smile and wicked tounge This love is an ever waning crescent But I have no idea of the name of the melody you sung Sick for days or maybe month, it's been so long since we have seen the sun And twice as long since I have heard that melody or seen the girl I love And this life like swimming through quicksand Where I constantly search through this endless surf For the next best shore of earth to bring me definition Who goes wandering through this gorgeous land? Is it me or who I'd thought I'd be? In either case, I have no recognition There's no sentinel or guardian for such a thing so sweet Nor guarantee from lights in the sky Let the wishing wells burst and feed starving children Who pray to a ghost so high Oh cause don't the children know that ghost and phantoms are a joke The only monster in their closet is a sad false hope

She's looking for the keys to her car To that Subaru her father tried to discard When the engine blew out on the way to some bar But now it runs like new if you can get it to start Don't be afraid BUT DON'T FUCK IT UP She parks and steps out on the asphalt And she walks towards me, her shoes destroyed by the salt And she's shivering, but you can see her resolve As she starts to speak and says its nobody's fault But she don't believe herself anymore We've past the age where those cliches seem self-assured And we realize what each other's for Something to hold as we're running towards Coming of Age And that whole afternoon just felt fake When she told me she was gonna move to Salt Lake Then described her dreams of life in the Mormon state And told me that she wouldn't make it a mistake Just don't be afraid BUT DON'T FUCK IT UP But she don't believe herself anymore We've past the age where those cliches seem self-assured And we realize what each other's for Something to hold as we're running towards Coming of Age And so we inherit the earth I never thought I'd make it this far but now I'm saying good bye to her and Coming of Age But we don't believe ourselves anymore We're at the age where there's nothing that feels sure And we realize what we're fighting for A reason to stay and a foot to put out the door But we don't believe ourselves anymore We've past the age where those cliches seem self-assured And we realize what each other's for Something to hold as we're running towards Coming of Age

Home 01:38
It's by the hill or its by the creek This towns not the world but I don't wanna leave oh no And even though I hate the snow I love the feeling of feeling cold And warming up to our favorite songs The speakers barely worked but we still sang along Cigarette smoke and cigarette burn Cigarette drags when I forget the words Maybe I'll leave but I'll always come back Or maybe I'll get stabbed or I'll die of a heart attack Maybe I won't care Maybe I'll die ready But the last thing I'll remember is growing up at a steady...pace Well everyone wants to leave and be grown But I'll still got the shoes that I owned When I was 16, my lungs first blackened We weren't always happy but circumstances happen And that's okay and so am I Cause these are the years that people let fly But I sure as hell won't, I'm sure as hell not Cause I'm sure as hell happy with the home I've got Maybe I'll leave but I'll always come back Or maybe I'll get stabbed or I'll die of a heart attack Maybe I won't care Maybe I'll die ready But the last thing I'll remember is growing up at a steady...pace

Post continuous bitter taste Come sweet lips and a sweeter embrace An electrified fingertips spewing infinite energy And gripping everything I ever need Oh the warmth that I felt on my face Those familiar eyes were a blaze And tied knots in my gut that were tight as the laces I'd wear on my feet til i'd bleed And the problems not you, love, it's me Haven't seen as soul behind eyes in weeks And I haven't seen you in years and I fear That I'm not the same man that I once was And I'll stay if you prove me wrong You and I both know that's what I want You and I both know how I long for the warmth of these covers with you by my side Or at least I know Post embrace comes a beautiful rage All the years that lead up to this daze So terribly induced by this gaze at him and you Gripping everything you'll ever need I believe hell exists in all of us But in you, it's especially prominent I SHOULD HAVE STAYED
6.
I was scared to death the first time that I saw your beautiful face A feeling I could not control came and it flooded my unprepared brain Now I want to split the world in two so I can have you by my side And I won't rest til we have the rest of our days to share before we die And when I think about your smile, I wanna go and tear up every map Cause they just remind me how far away I am from your breathtaking laugh And I want to split the world in two so I can have you by my side And I won't rest til we have the rest of our days to share before we die
